Bush shrugs off
Iraqi reform promise
n President Bush turned a cold
oulder Sunday to a promise by
Saddam Hussein for democratic
reforms in war-devastated Iraq.
"Not interested,” Bush said with a
stirug when reporters asked if he
tiad read Saddam’s televised ad
dress in which he promised multi
democracy for the first time
is 12-year rule. Previous
romises by Saddam to open up

Senator favors
economic sanctions
nU.S. Sen. John W. Warner, R-
va„ said economic sanctions, not
a continued American occupation
of southern Iraq, should be used
to pressure Saddam Hussein to
comply with allied cease-fire de
mands. Warner, the ranking Re
publican on the Senate Armed
Services Committee, told report
ers at the Dhahran air base that
il.S. troops had completed their
job and ‘'now it’s time to go

DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia
(AP) — In a second round of
cease-fire talks, allied command
ers met with Iraqi military com
manders Sunday and told them
they cannot move their war
planes inside Iraq for any rea
son, a top U.S. official said.
Meanwhile, the secretary of
the Army, Michael Stone, said
American forces will remain in
the Persian Gulf beyond the July
4 date set by President Bush as
"a special day of celebration for
our returning troops."
In another development Sun
day, 500 Iraqi prisoners of war
were returned to their country
through a remote Saudi Arabian
border outpost, bringing to
about 1,900 the number repa
triated since hostilities ended.
The Central Command said a
delegation headed by Maj. Gen.
Robert B. Johnston, the chief of
staff, met with 10 Iraqi military

officers at 1 p.m. (4 a.

em Iraq.
"The talks centered on cease
fire agreements," the command
said in a communique. "This
meeting was a continuation of
previous military discussions. In
the past several days, the U.S.
has learned that the Iraqis have
flown some of their military air
planes."
The command said this was
clearly a violation of the terms of
a temporary cease-fire set by
Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf,
the U.S. commander in the Gulf,
at the first round of peace talks
two weeks ago in Safwan.
"Now, the Iraqi military has
indicated that it intends to fly
more airplanes, to move them
around within Iraq," the com
mand said. "This, too, would vi
olate the terms of the temporary
cease-fire."
The meeting was held to hear
why the Iraqis want to fly some
of their aircraft, U.S. officials
said. The command said it
would consider the request and
respond appropriately. Its com
munique on the meeting Sunday
gave no details of what took
place or what the U.S. response
was.

However, Secretary of State
James A. Baker III said Sunday
the U.S. government had re
fused Iraq's request to move the
warplanes. He said the denial
came in the past 24 hours but
would not say how it was com
municated.
"That's something that was
agreed to at the very time opera
tions were suspended," Baker
said on ABC's 'This Week with

Rebels charge Iraqi
forces use napalm on
thousands of civilians
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Rebels claimed on Sunday that gov
ernment forces massacred thousands of people in napalm attacks
that left the burned bodies of women and children strewn along a
highway in southern Iraq.
State-run newspapers in Baghdad also reported horrific scenes
of destruction in two southern cities, saying the bodies of hun
dreds of people killed by anti-government rioters were on the
streets or stacked in hospitals.
None of the claims by the rebels or the newspapers could be
verified because Western journalists have not been allowed to
cover the fighting.
Baghdad Radio said Iraq's National Assembly would meet in a
special session Wednesday. The agenda was not announced for
the meeting of the rubber-stamp parliament. The session was
called one day after President Saddam Hussein promised major
political reforms once the rebellions are crushed.
The radio also said Izzat Ibrahim, deputy chairman of Iraq's rul
ing Revolutionary Command Council, met with army commanders
in northern Tamim province. It referred to him for tne first time as
the deputy commander of the armed forces but did not indicate if
that signaled changes in the command of Iraq's army, which was
crushed in the Persian Gulf War.
On Saturday, in his first address since the Gulf War ended in an
informal cease-fire, Saddam maintained that his forces had
crushed the Shiite Muslim revolt in the south and would soon de
feat Kurdish guerrillas in the north.
Rebel leaders in Damascus, however, claimed that fighting,
which began as the Gulf War ended last month, was still raging
across the coqntry.

After a six-hour meeting
Ikrsday, there was speculation
about wnat kind of financial set

J
tween the University and
NCAA, Davis is convinced he
would have been treated differ
ently, both in the investigation
and its conclusion."
Should the NCAA declare any
of the violations major, A&M
could lose its basketball program
for two years under the "death
penalty rule."
The NCAA rule states that if a
university's program is found
guilty of a major rules violation
within five years of a major vio
lation involving any other pro
gram at the same school, the pre
sent program will receive the
penalty.
A&M's football program was
found guilty of 36 violations in
1988, when it was declared ineli
gible for bowl competition and
placed on two years'^probation.
A University statement said
action is being initiated with re
spect to assistant basketball
coaches, but Mobley said any ac
tion regarding those coaches
would be completed this week.
The report listed 13 possible
violations, eight concerning Da
vis' dealings with reported New
York talent scout Rob Johnson
and six with former A&M stu
dent Tony Scott.
Scott, who transfered to A&M
from Syracuse, withdrew from
school in February.
The report also stated that Da
vis and assistant coach Fletcher
Cockrell acted unethically
according to NCAA bylaws.
Davis Bed to Smith four times
about details of the investiga
tion, according to the report. Tne
report also charged that Cockrell
lamning vi-
either gave Smith misleading in
formation or attempted to influ
ence others about what to say to
investigators on three occasions.
News that Davis had let John
son use a University phone card
was one of the most dai
olations.
In the investigation, however,
it was found that Johnson had
stolen the number and presently
is repaying the school for the un
authorized calls.
Citing such instances, Mobley
directed Crow to implement fur
ther institutional controls within
the athletic department.
Mobley went on to defend the
school's report and its decision.
"You need to understand the
process of the report," Mobley
said. "There were multiple inter
views over an extended period
of time, so there really weren't
any surprises in the report.
''Our commitment is to excel
lence in all that we do in our aca
demic and athletic programs and
to do it the right way."
